Dude. Where is Claptrap in the best new character section?
 
Also, I vote Red Faction: Guerrilla in everything it's nominated in.

So Uncharted 2 is not a candidate for best sequel but it is a candidate for most disappointing? Nice try.

Everyone is absolutely entitled to their own opinion. 
 
But if you want to be taken seriously at all, I strongly suggest you take off probably the highest rated game this year as "most disappointing". 
Then again, half of your choices and even categories (Modern Warfare 2 and Halo ODST for..."Best war game"? Just war in general? Even fictional ones? How about Red Faction? There was a war in that. Or do you mean FPS? Or military themed FPS? That's a category?!) are practically nonsensical.

This. You have eight games in "Best Sequel," and one of them is Blood on the Sand. As much as I love big ass ramps, the only category it should win "best" in is best helicopter boss fights, or best big ass ramps. It's also in "Best Shooter" and "Game of the Year."
 
You should at least try to keep the same number of games for each category, only doubling up for game of the year, if at all.
 
Also: "Worst Game This Year" is really, really arbitrary, and "Biggest Disappointment" is probably already enough. And why the HELL is Prototype in there?

The validity of your list was ruined when Uncharted was nominated for most disappointing.

There were a lot of games worse than Prototype this year. 
 
And how could a game like Academy of Champions: Soccer be a disappointment? Was anyone hyped for that game?

If you're hating on my blog solely because of my opinion then you're a complete idiot. I didn't like Uncharted 2 much, fucking sue me. And you wanna know what? It's going to get my Most Disappointing award. Because the combat blowed and the platforming was all over the place in a terrible way. 
 
I also hated Prototype...a lot. And I want to express my hate by putting it in those categories. Fact of the matter is, I sat down and listed every game I had played this year, Prototype just happened to be in the top 5 that I hated. 
 
And @vidiot: ...you're right. Best War Game? What the fuck was I thinking. Will be removed. 
 
@extremeradical: The reason I put Academy of Champions: Soccer there isn't because I was extremely hyped before launch. It's because I realized how much potential it had and it didn't capitalize on any of that potential. 
 
@Maxszy: Yes. 
 
@NickNorman: I had 5 (or less) on all the categories besides 2. You make it sound like it was 4 on one, 8 on the other, 9 on the next. No, it was 5 on all besides "Best Sequel" because there was a lot of sequels released this year that were fantastic. "Best Music/Rhythm" because I only played 2 Music/Rhythm games this year. And "Game of the Year" because it's Game of the Year. 
 
@Milkman: Name 5 other nominees for Best 360 Game. Besides Halo ODST and Forza 3. I only played one of those and I did not enjoy it. 
 
@Coltonio7: Go die.

I do not agree with your 360 games at all. Therefore I will wait and see what people choose. You know, Best 360 Game doesn't necessarily have to be an exclusive title but if it is then you could have L4D2. Yes, that's on PC but it's 360-exclusive on the consoles.

@GamerGeek360: I made it only Exclusives because having multi-platform games in there would result in it pretty much being my Game of the Year category. Also, totally forgot about Left 4 Dead 2 because when I made the list, I had yet to play it. Will edit it in.

Heres an interesting question, if this is all stated as YOUR own personal opinion, why must we wait until Christmas to get results? It makes sense just to tell us.

@dbz1995: Because I'm writing real short descriptions after each winner. So I need to work on that for a bit as it's not finished. I do see what you mean, though.
